Woman at center of Cornell rape allegations targeted with threats, lawyer says
Her lawyer said she received multiple threats after filing a lawsuit accusing seven Cornell students of drugging and raping her.
- On Sunday, attorney Thomas Giuffra told CNN that Jane Doe has received multiple threats pressuring her to drop her civil lawsuit alleging sexual assault by Cornell University fraternity members.
- Jane Doe filed a lawsuit last month against Cornell and seven Chi Phi fraternity members, alleging she was drugged with ketamine and sexually assaulted over several hours in 2024.
- Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff announced Saturday the university will examine fraternities and sororities, stating Cornell "will not wait for the investigation or the review to be completed before we act."
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul named Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor to investigate the case, though President Donald Trump criticized the appointment on Friday, saying those James investigates "won't get a fair shake."
- Thousands have used the hashtag #IAmJaneDoe on social media to support the victim and obscure her identity, though Giuffra told CNN that people attempting to unmask his client have targeted at least three women mistakenly identified as her.
